Why do creative people sometimes steal?

About a year ago my wife and I spotted an independant graphic designer, Kyleigh, who was selling paper cuts through Not on The High Street. We liked her work and got in touch to commission a special piece for my wife’s sister in law’s wedding.

Who would steal someone’s biography?

The designer by the name Panda Paper has stolen the openning paragraph of Kyleighs biography word for word. I thought I’d post a question on Panda Paper’s facebook page to ask why. The comment was deleted 30 minutes later. So I posted a “review” on the review tab on her facebook page. I was then blocked from the page altogether.

It seems Paper Panda doesn’t want to explain them self, or want anyone to know that although they have great creative skills at producing beautiful work, they can’t write a sentence about who they really are.

I would advice anyone considering buying a paper cut to use a designer who is original and open about their work.
